### Markdown vs CommonMark

In the above I used two different names to discuss the syntax that marquee adheres to. Markdown is the original specification developed by John Gruber and Aaron Swartz in 2004. The spec was intentionally vague and ambiguous which led to a divergence in how different parsers handled edge cases. CommonMark was developed to tackle this by bringing forth a stringent and internally consistent syntax that parsers could develop up against. On top of CommonMark, various entities has then build their own flavour of extended syntax, most well-known perhaps is GitHub flavoured markdown (GFM). Marquee is CommonMark compliant, meaning that it adheres to the specific syntax interpretation that CommonMark defined. Further, like GFM, marquee provides it's own additions to the syntax, some overlapping with other flavours, and some uniquely it's own.

In the following we will use the name "Markdown" to refer to the CommonMark syntax.
